What an honour 'to the Put tuguese soldiers !" Proc.- 6 The Emperor Napoleon, satisfied with '-the ac. counts which I have sent him of the state of the public mind' in this kingdom, has just remitted the half of your contribu tion.' Rem.d---" What horrid effrontery ! Upon Aus tria, with a population of twenty-four millions, NW polebn imposed a contribution of forty rnillioes of crusadoes. Upon Prussia, with a population of nine or ten millions, he imposed a similar sum, and: that after a bloody campaign,. 25,000 French soldiers having beereslainin the battle of. Jena alone : and of Portugal, which contains only three millions of in- . babiaaats, and where he aid not expend a penny-. worth of powder, he exa&ed the same sum. But let us leave Napoleon, and talk a little te•Junot.— . Why do you not inform us, for you are an angel at divination, what the different.articles of your decree actually produced under tl pretence of rai s i ng for ty millions of crusadoes ? Had you not been a bare faced-highwayman, .you ought to have assigned to the merchants, nobility, clergy, the capitalists and the people, their respective quotas of the forty mil lions, and have left the repartition of those quotas to the Portuguese themselves. But you wanted one hUndred millions instead of ,forty ; for the ,several thirds of your contribution taken together wank! • not have 'alien below that sum. Besides, do not you recoiled, that when you had the audacity to demand the second third of the contribution, you'Said that -you would then order the accounts of the whole to be made up ? Do you not know that yvu demand • ed twenty millions in specie, and; a part having already been paid in paper, that you thus opened the door to new robberies? In short, did not the Decree, announcing a false • and-pretended loss, in form us, that the treasury could not be the loser•to the amount of these twenty millions, and thatprb- • perty of another description must be resorted to - Unfortunate Clergy !- This was intended as your . death-warrant. The pretended loss was to be made 1 good bj , a new contribution, exclusive of-the former, Most 'assuredly, you are a finished model of avarice, ignorance, and impudence." Proc.—. And it is at the instant that be is accomplishing -all your wishes that you permit yourselves to be nurriad away by the influence of a few miscreants. It is at the mo ment of reaping your tranquillity ; it is at the instant h4a. piness is within your grasp, that you deliberately cast away even the most distant hope of it.' Rent.—""What a delightful sermon ! Is it possible that„lll. Lagarde is the author' of it If so, we would advise him to try something else, for he will never make a fortune in this line."

Rem.--" Pursue your labours, you tell us. How absurdly you talk ! What was to occasion a famine, unless it was yourselves, by shutting the .ports from whence. we drew the principal part of our subsist ence ? What did you to'ward dff.the famine which we suffered ? You gave crders to make a.general search for corn throughout the provinces. What a grand discovery !

Last night some German and Dutch Papers readied Town; they are perfeCily silent respeCting Spain, and bay very little about Austria. The Kings of Bava ria and Saxony are assembling their troops, in obe dience, probably, to the orders of BVONAPARTri A part of the French troops that were in Silesia :have been withdrawn; and it is said the whole Province isito be evacuated. This measure is attributed, in the german Papers, to BUONAPARTE'S tencvotent feeling,s for the,distressed state of the Province. The real cause, however, may be found in the formidable preparations of Austria. ' 'We are happy to find, that the whole of the Spanish Troops have arrived in safety at Gotten burgh. This intelligence was brought by the ilfus qiiito Sloop of War, which arrived yesterday rtfOrws ing at Yarmouth. She also brings an account that the:Russian Fldet, consisting of eleven Sail of the Line, was off Stockholm ; but we are not inclined to give any credit to this statement: The meeting at Hackney, yesterday se'nnight, is an eVent-tbat .should not be passed over without some observations, as from a due consideration of its na ture, and the circumstances attending it, every sincere friend to his country will, derive great satisfaction.-- The meeting, as we before informed my Readers, 1 • I was but thinly attended, and among the tew Free fielders present diet - 6.w= many officious intruders who had no. right to appear under that ctiarader. Various reasons have heen:given - Why tit - 6 - 'l.e - - Was so scanty an assenihlage,_ and it has been ihferred, that as the glorious events in Spain were so well known, and had. diffused universal pleastire over the country, the Freeholders in general deemed it unnecessary to meet in order to testify those emotions of joy which animfte every British bosom. There is doubtless some weight in this inference; but we believe another reason can be' assigned, as lionourable, to the understandings of Englishmen as those emotions of generous. syMpathy with a va)ourons people,, who now triumph over oPprenion, are to, their hearts, The main cause of the thin attendance at Hackney, in our opinion, is, the perfect contempt and, insign;fi -cane° into which a party who have often attempted to distur6 rho country with their mischievous doc- trines and ruinous:ip'ect4ations, have fallen in the general estimation. These men, notwithstanding all the h9rrors, which . t he tenets which th.. 3, profess have brought upon France, and so many other coun tries, still persevere in maintaining the.satne ruinous doctrines, and skew that they are too stupid to, be .enlightened by experience, or too evil-minded aver to be diverted from their wicked purposes. • But they have been abandoppd by, gym body at all en '. titled ; to respea, and thy now constitute such a miserable remnant Of fakiion, that all their attempts to recover a little notoriety are fruitless, and only serve to bring mortitiFation on _themselves, by fisting the insignificance to.which they are .reduced. This, we conceive,: tolhave been the generat reason why the band who mustered at Hackney on Tues day last were so:l'ew in , numbers; andwe trust that after this palpable demonstration of their weakness, they` will hardly' have the ctinfidence'again"to think of exalting themselves into the power of exciting— any•pubtiedisturbance. Another reason„ of less im portance, however, maybe mentioned as likely to have had Some influence in preventing .the more re, speetable order of Freeholders from attending, and that was, the report, that the 44ctiii - e - ss, and Petitim if not the Resolutions, had been 'prePared .4- a man old in mischief, and who, though he is brought by age and infirmities upon' the - confines Of another world, seems resolved to do as much harm as he can-before he drops into the grave, 'and to employ his last efforts inthe.Same unworthy cause. As it is. impassible to suppose that he man alluded to has in his nature any spark of public virtue, it is natural 'to conclude that up9n SO glorious an occasion as the triumph, of the Spaniards over the, efforts of tyranny, every rational Freeholder who had heard that a Pe tition, an Address, or . Resolutions, were yto . come from such a man, must have conceived that something mischievous was to be produced, that ought ,not to be associated with the laudable_ °hied of manifesting the sympathy which this nation feels the' noble'ascendancy of . Spanish va l Our and wisdom. -- These Considerations, we con ceive, will sufficiently account for the thin attendance a; . Hackney, and we sincerely' congratulate our countrymen in .tiding that the zealots of Party will now be obliged - to '‘ hide their diminished heads," an.l that the \ people in general are attached to their good King and excellent Constitution, and now heartily despise all JacJbins and Levellers, under r whatever form they may attempt to spreal theirdc lasions. But we should be guilty of injustice if we did not mention another reason why the Meeting I alluded to proved such a paltry attempt to interrupt the public tranquillity, under the pretence of testify ing a sympathy with the heretic efforts of the Spa nish Nation. The vigour, promptitude, and ability displayed by the present Administration have operated with due effea upon the minds of all rew String 'Englishmen, and they are convinced that the national safety and the national honour may be safely entrusted to their guidance. Their condua, , respecting Spain has been such, as not only English men-, but the whole world,, must approve; and, not withstanding all the pitiful attempts which hovel : been made to lessen their credit in this respect, by accusations of torpidity and delay, it is manifest that they have with the utmost celerity availed thenv., selves of every opportunity to assist the Spaniards and Portuguese, and that every obstacle in their way was unavoidable. But the fats speak for themselves. The Spaniards wanted arms, ammU nition, and money, and those we have liberally and • promptly supplied. They wanted to reserve the ho— nour of vindicating their national character to them selves, and we left, them to achieve that honour, but sent them a strong military force in case of neces sity. To the Portuguese, who wanted a powerful military support, we sent a gallant army, under 9ificers of proyed and eminent ability; and the glorious victory which we had on' Friday the e*quirn site gratification of communicating to the pub'" lie, is not only in the highest degree honourable to those who achieved 'that victory, hut to the Adini.. nis . tration who so providently and so ably arranged and ciireaed the measures that led to an event which 'Mast give pleasure to all mankind. • The West India Con,voy is appointed to sail from; Cork, early in the ensein„e"month.

The guns were all Spanish;',.. eighty-two were shipped by yesterday evening.' The Tench having taken away or destroyed as much as they could of the artillery in the Royal Arsenals, in . Spain, our Government has g,enercusly Come for-. ward to afford a fresh supply. It is considered, as, a compliment, that, the artillery and : stnall arms sent ,to-our Allies are all of the nrianefacture of their own' country. The following Regiments will. Immediately ern!. bark at. .Ramsgate, viz. the Ist Brigade of Guardi, from Deal; six:Companies of . 95th Ride Corps, and one Company of 'Royal Staff Corps, froni . Hythe; and three Troops of Royal Waggon Train, now on their march, from Croydon. The Brigade.of Guards at Chatham, and all the Regiments in the Eastern District, under Orders for foreign service, are also to embark without loss of time : besides which, orders have been given for the immediate 'embarkation of several- Regiments of heavy as well as light Cavalry.. Among the first go the Blues, under Colonel Dolt*" and the Bays, , under Lord GEORGE -BERUS" FORD ; thelOth, 13th, 14th, 2 nd'lstil Dragoons.-- Several Officers belonging to the Regituei.ts about to embark at Cork have set out to join their respective Corps. To the'accountsof the growing discontents in dif ferent parts of France, which we.have from time to time had the satisfattion to cotrununicate to the pub- • lie, we are ena'aledao add the substance of a l e tter received yesterday from a Gentleman of high re spettability at. Bourdeaux, .well known to the prin cipal merchants intlie city ; and which was brought by a vessel that arrived on Monday in the River from thence, laden with brandy : " BonangAux, AUG. am preparing to quit 'this place, for my seat about ten leagues from hence, where I hope to avoid the etfetts of the storm which .is gathering around,Us. The discontents of the peo plein this place can no longer be soothed by rne. • naces or promises; and ere lung, if my-judgment is not:much Misled, you will hear of insurrections in this and the neighbouring towns, which will lead to events of great magnitude. The people will rid them -selves of the restrictions which are fast leading to their entire ruin, or they will die in the attempt. With the example of Spain before their eyes, they • have formed a determination which a short space of time will develope." According to accounts lately received in Holland from France, ByoNAPAAT,B is not disposed to abandon his design of establishing his brother on the Throne of Spain. The protection of the coast of France has been hitherto confided to a descript , on of troops who were unfit for more active service. These, we understand, have lately received orders to march for Spain;. The more etficient part of his army he reserves for other purposes. But what can these exhausted veterans effect 'against the niyriads•who are inarms in Spa n ?
